I don't know what climate you live in but if it is hot as Houston is then there is a greater propensity for windshields to crack.
Also if you live in an area where road debris occurs a lot faster than the roads are swept then there is a greater risk of cracked windshields.
That said, I never lad a cracked windshield while I lived in Canada. Since moving to Houston, I had two - one on my old 2002 Elantra GT and one on my Dodge Grand Caravan. Moreover, here in Houston cracked windshields do not favour any one brand. They happen to all cars.
Moral of story - Hyundai glass is no more inferior than any other. People drive faster on debris-strewn roads causing misery for all.

Just had to have the windshield on my 2001 Elantra replaced. Hit a small rock, or chip, on the freeway, $50 deductible. This is the second replacement, had to have it replaced about 18 months ago, also due to a flying stone on the freeway. Have owned different cars for over 50 years and have never had this misfortune before. The windshield installer says it is because inferior glass and manufacturing techniques are the cause.
